Chapter 36 - Northwest Indiana

~ Creaky Knees and Rusty Keys ~

Our Local Friends in Northwest Indiana
(or other very special contacts)

These are QSL card collections, photos, or other memories shared by members and friends. The idea
is to tell us of the friends or events that helped shape your passion for amateur radio. This page goes
together with the Members Page and also the
History Page.

K9LA Collection
Carl recalls his Novice days in the Hammond area 50 years ago, with QSL's from contacts with his early friends.

K9MQ Collection
Mark scanned 5 editions that he has of The Carrier, the old Calumet Amateur Radio Club
(CARC) Newsletter. Also a pic of Mark at Field Day 1996 and some of Mark's QSL's from local hams.

KA9DFH & N9ESS Collection
Dolores created (and narrated) this video back in 1994 titled, PCARC Friends & Memories which shares
with us much history of the Porter County Amateur Radio Club and its members. Her video was transferred to DVD format
with the help of Lila, N9ESS, in 2010. The enormous photograph collection is credited to both of these ladies.

KB9YGD Collection
A video Norm made from pictures supplied by Barb N9VLT and Todd N9RKY of PCARC events from about 1997-2005.

KC9OYE Collection
Chuck provided this scan of a May 1960 newsletter from the Duneland Amateur Radio Association (DARA).
On page 3, it states that he took the Novice examination on Apr. 18, 1960.

KC9QBL Collection
Mark provided this scan of an April 1965 newsletter from Tech Times, newsletter of the Hammond Tech Radio Club.
